Dear Agony - Willett Bourbon Barrel Aged (2021) from Heavy Riff Brewing Company

10 months ago

8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 9 Overall 8

Bottle from the brewery. Thick, inky black, nice viscosity. Aroma is bourbon, sweet, earthy, peaty malt. Taste is bourbon, light spiciness, sweet malt. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, slight spicy alcohol warmth, finish as taste. This version doesn't bring out other elements besides bourbon and the base stout but the balance is good and it's so smooth so still quite enjoyable. Difficult to solo dome.

Can (5/12/25) from the taproom. Cloudy light brown-dark yellow with trace sparkle, nice head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is orange and mild herb. Taste is strong orange, earthy malt. Smooth texture, medium body, soft carbonation and crisp, fairly dry finish. Decent for an APA. The DDH version really takes it to another level.
